"According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it" (Ex. 25:9).
On the mount where Moses met with God, he was instructed to build the tabernacle. Several times God repeated to Moses to see to it that the pattern given to him for the construction of the tabernacle was followed. The tabernacle was the place where God's glorious presence would be manifested.
God gave Moses detailed instructions for how that tabernacle was to be built. Today, God no longer dwells in a tabernacle, but in the hearts of His children. Because of the blood that Jesus shed for our sins, we can approach a Holy God in the name of Jesus. And like the Lord had detailed instructions for the building of the temple that he gave to Moses, He too has detailed instructions for our lives that we must live by. But we don't need Moses or a priest to go up to the mount of God on our behalf. If we desire to know God and his detailed instructions for our lives we must go up to the mountain of God and meet with Him. In other words, we must get away and get alone with God. We must seek the Lord for ourselves and follow Him. And as we do we will not only be built up in Him, but we will experience the fullness of the joy of His glorious presence.
